4 layered Candle pictured candle holder

Step 1) This project starts off with a circle from the insert button, this circle is sized to the size needed for the cups that will holder the candle. Once this circle has been created I copied and pasted it to make 2 more for a total of 3.

Step 2) With this step a base needs to be made and that is done by selecting a shape from the shape list, this shape is then stretched to the size needed. Once this was achieved I copied the circle once again and created a new one that I enlarged just slightly to make a ring. I centered this ring by using the align tool and selected horizontal and vertical to make sure it was even all the way around. once this was done I grouped the new ring.

Step 3) Now that I have 3 rings, and a base I placed the original sized circles back in the base evenly apart. These will be cut out from the first layer of base.

Step 4) In this step I also added yet another smaller circle for feet, 4 of them in total one for each corner of the bottom. A second and third base was copied and pasted onto the work area as well, You will notice only one will have the 3 holes the other 2 are solid. Then I set the setting as they are all for cutting everything.

Step 5) While the laser machine was doing it's job, I set off to print the wrap. This was a scene of a sunset within the trees and a river. The first picture shows the print and what it is going on to, you will notice it is in reverse as I am printing it on the material. The second picture shows the printed material that will be the candle holders wrap.

Step 6) Once the wood was loaded into the laser and it finished the pieces needed to be glued. The bare candle holder looked like this before the wrap. The printed material gets glued onto the candle holder and then the bottom and the feet are glue as well.

Step 7) Now that the wrap Printed material was glued onto the candle holder the 3 cups sit firmly in place where the raised rings are to give it a 3D effect. Hope you try this some day Enjoy!
